Imagine painting the rise of gambling as a good thing. In a country where most people are desperate to survive and can barely pay rent or eat. It just shows how desperate the public are to go gamble the little they have.

Yes.

Shouldn’t it be obvious?

There’s some good info out there from the good people that know how things should work that created the reuse tool - https://reuse.software/ - and basically the conclusion is that nobody should be updating the years on the copyright line just because it’s a new year. The only useful info and what should be done is put the year when the file is created and that’s it.

Edit: took me a while to find the proper thing I wanted to link - https://matija.suklje.name/how-and-why-to-properly-write-copyright-statements-in-your-code

Had to go first to the recent curl blog where the author wants to go the weird way of not having useful info at all on the files.

What is a green bubble?

They have been very active fighting the chat control proposals that keep coming, haven’t really seen others being so active about it besides them. This is really bad.

Let’s just make the worse possible and then wait to see what happens. Only way to wake up from the AI nightmare. If we survive long enough.

We’re really getting deep in the worst timeline and no way back. Nice.

Which was a wildly successful marketing campaign since we are still talking about it.

Similar to “Got milk” or stuff like that, forever in the human consciousness.

You think it wouldn’t xD?

Not to mention it’s pretty regular to track who is participating by checking the towers in the zone all the people are participating.

My eyes hurt too much nowadays to tolerate only dark themes. There’s a good balance in the middle and sometimes light is very good to relax the eyes.

The true golden age for kids porn.

These kinds of things are not temporary. We know that humans can’t control themselves and aren’t rational enough to “just use it a bit”. It’s highly addictive and leads to people to remove themselves from reality.

Always has been.

Big numbers go brrrr.

That would make sense if the companies laying off people were at all related to those kinds of markets that depend on the traffic you describe for survival. Most people that I know including me were layed off from companies that sell B2B stuff or solid things that are always on need independent of those factors. The common excuse used is that everyone was hiring a lot to catch the good talent that others were firing.

What I see is just all businesses using an excuse of “oh everyone is doing it, let’s do it too” independent of if it’s really necessary or not.

Thanks. That helps a lot. I never knew that iMessages was integrated with sms, just thought it existed as a internet protocol like many other proprietary ones.

Basically it’s all the same usual problem of using a closed proprietary chat protocol that a single stake holder has the power to change however and whenever they want.

Like whatsap, facebook and others which any alternative has to keep catching up to the changes that the companies do and which is very hard to maintain the reverse engineered protocols.

It never crossed my mind that I don’t usually see alternative clients for imessage, but makes sense, didn’t think it would be so hard to do.

So these guys came up with a implementation that works and apple just wants to crush them to destroy any alternatives. Business as usual.

It’s hard to understand these news when all the lingo used implies you already know the thing being talked about. An article talking about “Blue bubbles” makes no sense whatsoever to anyone not used to apple ecosystem.

For people out of the loop what is this about? Is a new whatsapp clone being released? I read something about apple blocking something but don’t understand what’s going on.

I’m pretty sure I still pay all the renewable energy I consume at home. I wish the bill was zero, that would be amazing.

It’s amazing that last year when I was looking for a new phone, the one I bought was one of the smallest I could find - asus zenfone. Same physical size as my precious sony, just a few grams heavier. I’m super happy with it and ny other phone seems super huge in comparison.

With some mobile apps, in app currency and some gamiffication (aka predatory tactics) like trophies and leader boards and pay for win features, I could see making lots of money from poop a very legit business.

Yeah, I haven’t met a single person that that has owned nor have never seen anyone buy bluerays in all the years that it has been available.

It really got a weird timeframe, when internet started to become fast and readily available everywhere, streaming services starting to exist, computers getting smaller and without optical drives… In the last 15 years or more I haven’t owned a computer with a reading optical drive.

People I know with playstations only use it to play mostly and the games are usually digital buys.

The great modern cheat to ensure slaves don’t rise against the rulers.
